Shake off last night
Let me continue
Stand up right
Walk from the rearview
Thought this can’t die
Ashes the flame flew
It feels alright
Then it gives from beneath you
Beseech you
It bothers, it beats you
Hands form to fists
Don’t know what this shit is
Called it coming to grips
While I watched it tear rip
From the fabric, I lived
Hoping something would give

And it did
But they didn’t
Held on to it like a cynic
Like a victim of indifference
Comically cataclysmic
And it's kismet
This isn’t
A cry for help or forgiveness
A try for tell, I'm all in this
But understand it none of your business

A lie to call a bluff
Only when they’re throats are cut
Don’t dare disrupt
Violent at the sign of blood
Count down from I'm giving up
thought me tough
It's not enough

Standby and hope for trust
Only when the lines are shut
Don’t care. Unjust.
Riot like you’ve had enough
Count down, I'm losing blood
I turn to luck, It's not enough

Banzai and hope it busts
Waiting at the sidelines rough
Entrust disgust
Like it's you and who you love
And that should be enough
Pick the pieces up
Just pick the pieces up

Let me catch myself
Dispel the truth
It’s coming through
I’m telling you
This ain’t brand new
There's several clues
Hopes removes
And then they moved
And took the mood
Damn
Then I'm at it again
Same place, different stance
Try to place the same hand
I still don't understand
Flags waved looked like hands
The cloth ripped on command
Blind betterment
Not that's the sentiment

Now get used to it
Cause they move to it
There's no truth to it
Too much chew to it

Teeth, you can find me grinding in my sleep
Sleep, won’t catch me counting still black sheep
Sheep, flock together hard to breathe
Breathe, opposite of what we need
Need. perceptive change the I to we
We didn’t know then turned to tragedy
No going back
No hope intact
Left in disbelief
The first to leave
A friend to me
Turned to memory
Olly oxen-free
To shaky knees
Pretend to be
Like this isn't meant to be
So detached from the task
I remember he
Approached grabbed and grasped
As a matter of fact
Explanation came fast
Won’t forget the day past
And the impact you had
